The charge which comes from Wash
ing that the confirmation of Governor
Church is denied or held back by the
senate at the instance of Governor
Pierce is probably without foundation
other than the malice which prompts its
utteranoe. 1t is stated in vague sort
of way that Senator Platt said that q
friend OF Governor Pierce asked for post
ponement of the confirmation, but SEN
stor Platt himself does not seem to be
very positive on that point, Governor
Pierce formally rendered his resignation
and in response to that resignation a
successor was designated. Governor
Pierce then entered upon
business engagement which dated
from the opening Of the legislative ses
sion. as he expected By that time to be
free to attend to private duties. His re-
tention in Office beyond the day of ex-
pected relief is OF course business en-
barrasment. Under these circumstances
we do not think the enemies OF Cover
| nor Pierce (and the Press and Dako
taian is not counted as bis ardent friend
| can reasonably assert that he is the heat
of y conspiracy to prevent the cenfirma
tion OF his successor. Other causes hav
doubtless operated to delay the confir
nation OF Governor Church.

Elsdon was standing in the door Of the
store at Carmelita, "a small rtownrecently
founded between Anaheim and Arte-

the breech resting on the sill of the
door. By some means the piece was
discharged, and the load from one bar

fortunate young man. A doctor went
over from Anaheim to attend him,
and on his return he reported the
probabilities as being extreme that the
accident would prove fatal, although
when he lett Carmelita the young man
was still living. He, with his sister,

WAsHINGToN, d. c., October 2l.-
At the hearing of the application for
writ of error in the case of the Chi
cago Anarchists this morning, Justice
Harlan made an order directing that
counsel apply for a writ of error
lirectly to the whole court in open
session and the application might be
made at noon to-day.
In making the order Justice Har-
Ian said: ''If l should allow a writ
Of error it is quite certain counsel
would have to repeat before the court
the argument which they propose
now to make before me. On the
other hand, if l should refuse writ.
defendants would be at liberty to
renew the application before any other
Justice of the Supreme Court.
AS the case is one OF a very serious
character in whatever aspect it ma,
he regarded, I deem 1t proper to make
an order, which | now do, that coun-
sci present this application in open
ession to the end that early and final
action may be had upon the question
whether that court liad jurisdiction to
review ju lgment in this case"
PLEA FOR THE DEFENSE.
The application to the United States
Supreme Court for writ5 OF erfm in
the Chicago Anarchists case was
made in open court shortly after noon
to-day, by General Pryor, in behalf oi
The condemned prisoners. The points
upon which he relied to show that the
;ases involved Federal questions
which would give the Court jurisdic-
ion, were, first, that tine statute OF
illinois relating to the impanelment
)f juries makes it impossible TO try
prisoners with partial and prejud-
ced jury, as was in fact done in this
:ase, and that such is obnoxious to
he Federal Constitution; and, Sec
,hd, that the prisoners were compelled
o testify against themselves and Grim 4
nate themselves, and the eliminating
evidences against them was obtaine
~ the police. This evidence was
AIKEN from their private desks with
,ut a search warrant, in violation OF
he constitutional provision that no
nan shall be deprived OF what is his
without due process of law.
WHAT WAS DONE.
The Court directed Pryor to have
printed at once those parts of the rec
,rds which presented these questions,
md have such printed copies ready
or submission to the Court to-day or
,arly tomorrow morning. Further
if necessary, would, the
Jhief-Justice said, be given Monda!

New YORK, October 21.-The Tor
temita silver mines OF Arizona have
lately been extensively advertised
throughout the East. Shares were
placed at 50 each, and great efforts
had been made to interest working
men and farmers in the scheme.
Stock of the mine, to the extent OF
$50 900 900 was issued and consid-
erable portion has been placed with
poor people. The Herald some time
ago sent Il mining engineer out to in
spect the property, and he reports that
persons living near the mines in Ari-
zona regard them as being of little
value. The mines merely consist OF
prospect holes, and barely pay wages
to thirteen men. 1t is shown that the
mines have been failure from the
start, and that they have paid no di-
vidends. When yielding the largest
amount they bankrupted their owners
and were sold at sheriff's sale for
SIS 900.

EdgertOn's Opinions Regarding

WASHINGTON, October 21.-A repre-
sentative OF the Associated Press had
an interview to-day with Civil Service
Commissioner Edgerton. relative to
the difference between himself and
Commissioner Oberly regarding the
Illinois Democratic Association. Ed
gerton expressed an opinion that gov
ernment employees have a right to
connect themselves with political or
ganizations, and the latter can assess
members for political purposes. Such
connection does not render employees
ineligible as civil service examiners,
and he believes that the President and
three-fourths of the Democratic party
sustain his position.
